CHAP. XX.
Of Heavy and Light.
HEavy and light ought not to be defined by higher or lower
place, nothing is high or low; for Heaven being absolutely
round, and its convexe extremity even, we cannot term any
thing higher or lower; yet may we call that heavy, which is
hardly drawn to a place different from its Nature, light which
easily; or, heavy is that which consisteth of most parts, light of
fewest.
